Primetime Picks… 5/30/18

May 30, 2018 Posted by in Features | Comments

Tonight FX airs the series finale of the 1980s-set spy drama The Americans. Last week, Stan’s suspicions of the Jennings continued to grow. He entered Elizabeth and Phillip’s names into his FBI computer, but nothing came up. He stopped by their travel agency, hoping to find something suspicious, and even called up Pastor Tim in Buenos Aires, hoping he would reveal something, but nothing panned out. Stan brought his suspicions to Dennis, but he thought the notion was crazy.

Meanwhile, Elizabeth stopped the assassination of Nesterenko, and a livid Claudia told her the damage she had done was indescribable. Paige questioned her mother about her seduction of a young State Department page, and was upset when Elizabeth flat out lied to her. And Philip was meeting with Father Andrei when the priest informed him that the FBI had been questioning other clergy members. Fearing they were under surveillance, Philip immediately strolled away, but once he started sprinting, he knew for sure that he was being followed. Philip managed to get away, and immediately called Elizabeth, giving her a coded message, letting her that it was time for them to run. She grabbed a Go Bag from the wall in the laundry room, and some IDs and money from a safe, and took off.

Philip and Elizabeth are now on the run, and the FBI are watching possible garages and safehouses in the area. Did they managed to get Philip’s photo on surveillance, and if not, will Father Andrei turn on them? Will Stan finally have the proof that the Jennings are the spies he’s been searching for all this time? And how will he react if this betrayal is confirmed? Will Paige join her mother, or is she still too upset about the lies? Will the Jennings be caught and punished, or will someone die? And what about Henry, he’s still off at school, unaware any of this has been going on—how will he take the news about his Russian spy family? Check out tonight’s exciting series finale to see how it all plays out. Then, after the episode airs on the East Coast, look for a post-mortem interview with showrunners Joe Weisberg & Joel Fields at NoReruns.net.

In tonight’s finale, “START”, the Jennings face a choice that will change their lives forever.

Tonight I’ll also be watching/recording Reverie, Archer, and The Expanse.
